Chapter 1352

Recently, it had been extremely easy for Zachary to feel lethargic. Although he had just woken up in the morning, he wanted to take a rest again.

Noticing how his health had been deteriorating, Ben could not help but feel concerned. If we still can’t find Francesco, I’m afraid that…

At that thought, he was ridden with worry. After making the rest of the arrangements for Zachary and Nancy’s meeting in the evening, he was thinking of calling Bruce when Lupine’s call came in.

As she had asked to meet him, he had no choice but to delay the call.

Due to the lesson from last time, Ben became much warier and kept reminding himself not to let her pry out information from him.

Meanwhile, before Lupine left, Charlotte exhorted her repeatedly, “Remember what I said! You must dig out the truth from Ben.”

“Understood.” Lupine nodded.

“Go on, then.” Charlotte gestured for her to leave, and she hurried out.

Ever since Charlotte discovered by chance that Zachary would lose his sight intermittently, she had suspected that something was wrong with his health. Although she had sent Lupine to investigate it, she did not find anything.

When she met Zachary earlier that day, she thought he looked rather pallid. Even his eyes seemed clouded. At that observation, worry gnawed at her.

Hence, she instructed Lupine to ask Ben out and fish for some clues.

Although Lupine was brilliant, she could not compare to Ben. With that in mind, Charlotte taught her a method and told her to act as instructed.

Ben and Lupine arrived at the agreed-upon meeting place simultaneously.

After getting into his car, she passed him an apple.

“Thank you!” Delighted, Ben took a bite of it.

Seeing how happy he looked, Lupine felt conflicted. Although he seemed like a capable man, he was actually easily coaxed. She promised to bring him some homemade food but only got him an apple as she did not have the time to cook. Yet, he was still contented with it.

“Thank you for today,” said Lupine. “Sir Robert is simply too much. We were already prepared to take action, but we didn’t expect Mr. Nacht to rush over and solve the problem.”

“Although their relationship is very tense now, Mr. Nacht still cares about Ms. Lindberg deeply. He won’t ignore her if she’s in trouble,” said Ben seriously. “If anything happens in the future, you must inform me in time. If we hadn’t spotted Sir Robert’s car while descending the mountain, things would have been messy.”

“Ms. Lindberg doesn’t want to be indebted to Mr. Nacht.” She sighed. “I think that they care about each other deeply too. It’s really pointless for their relationship to remain like this.”

“I understand where Ms. Lindberg is coming from, though. After all, the Nacht family has harmed her greatly in the past. Family grudges can’t be forgotten so easily.”

He added, “However, from another perspective, she should put the past behind her now that Mr. Henry is dead, and Zara and the Blackwoods have fallen from grace. Furthermore, since Mr. Lindberg is missing now, the two families should join forces and work together.”

“That’s what I think too. It’s just that Ms. Lindberg has too many concerns. Perhaps, they just need more time. Let’s take it slow,” she remarked woefully.

“We can’t take it any slower,” Ben blurted out. “Time won’t wait for us.”

“What?” Lupine shot him a puzzled glance.

He explained hastily, “Oh, I mean that the children are growing up, and they need their parents’ love. Plus, Lindberg Corporation is in a crisis now, and Ms. Lindberg needs Mr. Nacht’s help. We should think of a way to reconcile them.”

“You’re right. That’s what I had in mind, too,” she concurred.

“Great!” Ben was delighted. If Lupine were willing to cooperate, it would be much easier.

“I need to leave in ten minutes.” Lupine glanced at her watch. “Dr. Langhan is coming over later.”

“Raina? Is she going to treat Ms. Lindberg’s wound? How is her recovery going?”

In response, she sighed. “Not great. It’s been hurting terribly for the past two days. I even have to help wash her face in the morning.”
